If you’ve got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
When you make love, do you look in your mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it’s forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch and see?
Ooh, babe
Ooh, yeah
When you’re alone, do you let go?
Are you wild and willing or is it just for show?
Ooh, come on

I don’t want to touch you too much baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don’t want to be there when you decide to break it, no

It’s bringing me to my knees (love lives, love dies)
It’s no surprise (Love begs, love pleads)

It’s what I need
When I’m with you are you somewhere else?
Am I getting through or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can’t be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe, I don’t want to touch you too much baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy, oh

It’s bringing me to my knees (love lives, love dies)
It’s no surprise (Love begs, love pleads)
It’s what I need
Oh yeah, I don’t want to touch you too much baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don’t want to be there when you decide to break it, no

It’s bringing me to my knees (love lives, love dies)
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It’s bringing me to my knees (love lives, love dies)
It’s no surprise (love begs, love pleads)
It’s what I need

If you’ve got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes it does, it will be hell

Open Secrets-Rush

It went right by me

At the time it went over my head

I was looking out the window

I should have looked at your face instead

It went right by me

Just another wall

There should have been a moment

When we let our barriers fall

I never meant what you’re thinking

That’s not what I meant at all

Well, I guess we all have these feelings

We can’t leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child

The things that we’re concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing

You’ve got to let it go

Closed for my protection

Open to your scorn

Between these two directions

My heart is sometimes torn

I lie awake with my secrets

Spinning 'round my head

Something that somehow escaped me

Something you shouldn’t have said

I was looking out the window

I should have looked at your face instead

Well, I guess we all have these feelings

We can’t leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child

The things that we’re concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing

You’ve got to let it go

Let it go

I find no absolution

In my rational point of view

Maybe some things are instinctive

But there’s one thing you would do

You could try to understand me

I could try to understand you

You could try to understand me

I could try to understand you

Well, I guess we all have these feelings

We can’t leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child

The things that we’re concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do it’s healing

You’ve got to let it go

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go

Strange Brew - Cream

Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

She’s a witch of trouble in electric blue
In her own mad mind she’s in love with you
With you
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

She’s some kind of demon messin’ in the glue
If you don’t watch out it’ll stick to you
To you
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored
And wouldn’t you be bored?
Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew
Strange brew - killin’ what’s inside of you

Back in black
I hit the sack
I’ve been too long, I’m glad to be back
Yes, I’m let loose
From the noose
That’s kept me hanging about
I’ve been looking at the sky
‘Cause it’s gettin’ me high
Forget the hearse ‘cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat’s eyes
Abusin’ every one of them and running wild

'Cause I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, back
Well, I’m back in black
Yes, I’m back in black

Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I’m a power pack
Yes, I’m in a bang
With a gang
They’ve got to catch me if they want me to hang
‘Cause I’m back on the track
And I’m beatin’ the flack
Nobody’s gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I’m just makin’ my play
Don’t try to push your luck, just get out of my way

'Cause I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, back
Well, I’m back in black
Yes, I’m back in black
Well, I’m back, yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, back
Well, I’m back in black
Yes, I’m back in black

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Take my love
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah
Well, I’m back (I’m back)

Magic Man - Heart

Cold, late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
I never seen eyes so blue
You know, I could not run away it seemed
We’d seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah

“Come on home, girl” he said with a smile
“You don’t have to love me yet, let’s get high awhile
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, I’m a magic man”

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
“Never think of never let this spell last forever”
Well, summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she’s worried, growing up in a hurry

“Come on home, girl” Mama cried on the phone
“Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home”
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he’s a magic man, Mama, ah
He’s a magic man

“Come on home, girl” he said with a smile
“I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child”
But try to understand, try to understand
Oh, oh, try, try, try to understand,
He’s a magic man, oh, he’s got the magic hands

Oh’s over top

“Come on home, girl” he said with a smile
“You don’t have to love me yet, let’s get high awhile”
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he’s a magic man, yeah, oh

Stranger In A Strange Land - Iron Maiden

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain’t what they seem
No brave new world, no brave new world

No brave new world, no brave new world

Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me
Set me free, set me free

Lost in this place and leave no trace

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

One hundred years have gone
And men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell on that day
Preserved in time for all to see
No brave new world, no brave new world

Lost in this place, and leave no trace

What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place so all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

What became of the man that started
All are gone and their souls departed
Left me here in this place so all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home
Stranger in a strange land
Lost and far from home
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside, I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I’m waking up, I cannot see
That there’s not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me

Back in the womb, it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I’ll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I’m just one
Oh, God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
I cannot live, I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body, my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken my hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Tear it down
Strip the layers off
My turpentine
Old paint, old looks
Cover up the past
White heat, white light
Super white bones
Bones of you and I

Purify, can’t you help me?
Purify, won’t you help me?
Purify, you and I
Purify, you and I
Purify, can’t you help me?
Purify, won’t you help me?

You and I purify

Truth and dare
Peeling back the skin
Acid wash, ghost white
Ultra clean
Wanna be skeleton
Clear eyes, diamond eyes
Strip the past of mine
My sweet turpentine

Purify, can’t you help me?
Purify, oh, won’t you help me?
Purify, you and I
Purify, you and I
Purify, can’t you help me?
Purify, oh, won’t you help me?
You and I, purify
You and I, purify

I can find the dirt on anything
I can find the dirt on anything

I ain’t dancing with your skeletons
I, I ain’t dancing with what might have been, no

Purify, can’t you help me?
Purify, oh, won’t you help me?
Purify, you and I
Purify, you and I
Purify, can’t you help me?
Purify, why won’t you help me?

The sky is red, I don’t understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin’ the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

The city’s ablaze, the town’s on fire
The woman’s flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her liar
All I hear is, “Burn”

I didn’t believe she was devil’s sperm
She said, "Curse you all, you’ll never learn
When I leave there’s no return "
The people laughed till she said, “Burn”

Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin’, we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear, “Burn”

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

The sky is red, I don’t understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin’ the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear, “Burn”

Neon Knights - Black Sabbath

Oh no, here it comes again
Can’t remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing’s in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again, again and again, and again

Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain’s at the helm, sail across the sea of lights

Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell

Bloodied angels fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows, shining ever-bright

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
All right!

Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain’s at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Again and again, again and again, and again

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
All right!

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin’ down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

And get higher and higher
Straight up we’ll climb
We’ll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin’ off the track
Got the truth bein’ left behind
Fall between the cracks
Standin’ on broken dreams
Never losin’ sight, ah
Well, just spread your wings

We’ll get higher and higher
Straight up we’ll climb
We’ll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

So baby, dry your eyes
Save all the tears you’ve cried
Oh, that’s what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong
In a world that must be strong
Oh, that’s what dreams are made of
Yeah, we’ll get higher and higher
Straight up we’ll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we’ll get higher and higher
Who knows what we’ll find?

So baby, dry your eyes
Save all the tears you’ve cried
Oh, that’s what dreams are made of
Oh baby, we belong
In a world that must be strong
Oh, that’s what dreams are made of

And in the end
On dreams we will depend
'Cause that’s what love is made of

Love Walks In - Van Halen

Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact, asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes
Now more than ever, you realize

And then you sense a change
Nothin’ feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin’ in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string

Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shinin’ down

And then you sense a change
Nothin’ feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin’ in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin’ in

Oh, sleep and dream, that’s all I crave
I travel far across the Milky Way
To my master, I become a slave
'Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
Earth returns to what it was before

And then you sense a change
Nothin’ feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin’ in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
Love comes walkin’ in

Love comes walkin’ in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin’ in

Love comes walkin’ in, yeah
Ooh, yeah, oh-oh-oh

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengeance is boiling
He’s returned to kill the light

Then when he’s found who he’s looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save

Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell, unholy one
But he’s returned to prove them wrong, so wrong
Ooh yeah, baby

Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell

Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him
Bark at the moon

Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Hey yeah, bark at the moon
Oh-oh yeah, bark at the moon
Aw

A Gentleman’s Excuse Me-Fish

Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your belgian lace

Taking them out every year to watch the colors fade away?

Do you still believe in fairy tales, in battlements of shining castles

Safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill?

Are you still a russian princess rescued by a gypsy dancer

To anyone who’ll listen is that a story you tell?

You live a life of fantasy, your diary romantic fiction.

… Can’t you see it’s hard for me, can you see what I am trying to say?

It’s a gentleman’s excuse me so I’ll take on step to the side.

Can you get it in your head I’m tired of dancing?

For every one step forward we’re taking two steps back.

Can you get it in your head I’m tired of dancing?

… I know you still like old fashioned waltzes

Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor

But if I told you the music’s over would you want to hear

That your dance card is empty that there’s no-one really there?

Do you still believe in santa claus, that there’s a millionaire

Looking at your front door with a key to a life that you’d never understand?

All I have to offer is the love that I have, it’s freely given

You’ll see it’s value when you see what I’ve tried to say.

… It’s a gentleman’s excuse me so I’ll take one step to the side.

Can you get it in your head I’m tired of dancing?

For every one step forward I’m taking two steps back.

Can you get it in your head that from this one step forward

There’s no turning back?

Can you get it in your head I’m tired of dancing?

We’re finished dancing.

Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay

Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you’re searching for a silent sky

You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So die another day

The coldness of his words
The message in his silence
I face the candle to the wind

This distance in my voice
Isn’t leaving you a choice
So if you’re looking for a time to run away

You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So try another day

They took pictures of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said, “Maybe when it’s right for you, they’ll fall”

But if they don’t come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret
You won’t find it here
Look another way
You won’t find it here
So try another day

The Spirit Carries On-Dream Theater

Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, “Life is too short
The here and the now
And you’re only given one shot”
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that we’ve got?

If I die tomorrow
I’d be all right
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before, I’m not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove what I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try, sing it

If I die tomorrow
I’d be all right
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on

Move on, be brave
Don’t weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear

Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again

Victoria’s real
I finally feel at peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I’m here
It’s perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means, c’mon sing it

If I die tomorrow
I’d be all right
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on

Was a time when I wasn’t sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you’re in my heart now

All we need is just a little patience”
Said, “Sugar, make it slow and
we’ll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience”

I sit here on the stairs 'cause I’d rather be alone
If I can’t have you right now, I’ll wait, dear
Sometimes, I get so tense but
I can’t speed up the time
But you know, love,
there’s one more thing to consider

Said, “Woman, take it slow and
things will be just fine
You and I’ll just use a little patience”
Said, “Sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright
You and I’ve got what it takes to make it”

We won’t fake it
I’ll never break it
'Cause I can’t take it

Little patience, yeah, yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah

(yeah, yeah)
Just tryin’ to get it right (a little patience)
It’s hard to see with so many around
(yeah, yeah)
You know I don’t like bein’ stuck in the crowd
(could use some patience)
And the streets don’t change,
but maybe the names (yeah, yeah)
I ain’t got time for the game 'cause I need you (gotta have more patience)

Johnny Blade - Black Sabbath

Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone
People avoid him, they know the street’s his own
Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild
Mean as a tiger, society’s own child

Those who try to burn him pay
You don’t do that to Johnny Blade
He’s the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade

Life has no meaning, and Death’s his only friend
Will fate surprise him, where will he meet his end?
He feels so bitter, yes he’s so full of hate
To die in the gutter, I guess that’s Johnny’s fate

Rivals all across the land
He kills them with his knife in hand
He’s the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade

Well you know that Johnny’s a spider
And his web is the city at night
He’s a victim of modern frustration
That’s the reason he’s so ready to fight

He’s the one that should be afraid
What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?

Oh he knows his future’s decided
And he ain’t gonna change it, no way
He was born to die in the gutter
He’ll keep fighting 'till the end of his days

Been alone all through his life
His only friend is a switchblade knife
He’s the one who should be afraid
What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?

You fool the people
Who’s fooling who?
It’s time to listen
Who’s fool are you?
